Hey Pete,
I had another guide.
https://www.vultr.com/docs/configuring-bgp-on-vultr
I just did a google for the doc and came to that one :)

they don't talk about static section..
Take a look!

So you were not wrong, I only did use a bad howto. which I do find strange that vultr
promote the service with bogus instruction.

I can have a look at starting a wiki section on bird.
There are so many ways but vultr is very popular. They sometimes have
$2.50/m (without ipv4) which you can then announce ipv4 from.
I should have asked to see config, I assumed a static was set from guide.
Sorry about that. Glad to hear it worked out.

After changing the conf file I have now
birdc show route
BIRD 1.6.6 ready.
44.135.59.0/24 via 207.246.122.57 on ens3 [static1 14:30:41] * (200)
sounds better

I will change the bird conf file to
protocol static
{
route 44.135.59.0/24 via 207.246.122.57;
}
I hope this will "fix" something on the BGP side

Hey Pete,
From what I am reading and comparing the Vultr docs, you either need
--
protocol static
{
route 44.135.59.0/24 via 207.246.122.57;
}
protocol device
{
scan time 5;
}
--
Or
--
protocol direct
{
interface "dummy1";
import all; <---- this part
}
--
I would recommend the first, being the static protocol. That way your
more specifics over the vpn will work too.
What does "birdc show route" tell you?

thanks for jumping in Ruben
here is a copy and paste of my bird.conf I of course changed some secret
information.
log "/var/log/bird.log" all;
router id 207.246.122.57;
protocol device
{
scan time 60;
}
protocol direct
{
interface "dummy1";
}
protocol bgp vultr
{
local as 4288000072;
source address 207.246.122.57;
import none;
export all;
graceful restart on;
next hop self;
multihop 2;
neighbor 169.254.169.254 as 64515;
password "Secret" ;
}

Pete,
Can you share your bird config please?
The dummy interface is indeed not needed, but I would recommend a
nullroute for your /24. In case your vpn clients faisl, the source will not
get stuck in an routing loop.
But let's have a look at your bird config first please.
Either Bird is not running, or it is not announcing your subnet to Vultr.

Thanks James.
That is what I was thinking.
Anyone can give me some pointer on how to debug bird?
the logs are not doing much to help.
